Pit to Presence: Jeremiah 38:6

Jeremiah 38:6 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Jeremiah 38 in context

Scripture Focus

6Then took they Jeremiah, and cast him into the dungeon of Malchiah the son of Hammelech, that was in the court of the prison: and they let down Jeremiah with cords. And in the dungeon there was no water, but mire: so Jeremiah sunk in the mire.
Jeremiah 38:6

Biblical Context

Jeremiah is taken to a dungeon courtyard, lowered into a mire where there is no water, and sinks there. This scene reflects outward confinement that mirrors inner limitation.

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through Neville’s inner-eye, the pit is not merely a prison of stone but a state of consciousness. The dungeon, the court, and the cords are symbols of identified beliefs that bind your awareness. The mire represents a dense, muddy sense of limitation you have accepted as real. When Jeremiah sinks, you are invited to notice how your attention adheres to a story of incapacity. Yet the I AM—your eternal awareness—never leaves its throne. The narrative asks you to revise the scene from inside, to awaken the sense that you are not defined by the pit but by the I AM who can illuminate it. In this light, confinement becomes the proving ground in which imagination is tested and refined. The prophecy here is not about a future escape but about the present turn: by shifting your inner state, you alter the outer appearance. The moment you claim sovereignty in awareness, the mire loses its grip and becomes a surface for stepping into clearer being.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Close your eyes and revise the scene by declaring, 'I am the I AM, and this pit is my mind under my reign.' Sit with that feeling until your sense of freedom replaces the mire.
